Abstract excerpt
Type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD) is characterized by low plasma levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and clinical bleeding. Several mechanisms have been described that cause a decrease in plasma VWF levels in VWD, and the goal of this study was to elucidate the pathogenic origins of VWD for a group of mutations in the VWF D'D3 region traditionally associated with type 1 VWD. Varying ratios of...
